Tough Faith
Written by George Smith   
Sunday, January 24 2010 00:00


pastorGeorgeThe Christian life is a journey. It is a walk of faith. It is learning to walk with God. This does not mean that life will always be easy. There will be challenging times which require a strong and firm faith. In this message, I address this subject in a sermon titled “TOUGH FAITH.”

In light of the fact that we are a church body of believers and each person has a part in the ministry of the church, would you take time to pray this week, that the message on Sunday will really help those who are struggling in their walk with God? It WILL BE a great day. Now that is Faith!


New! Watch this message on video:

Below is the outline for this message.

TOUGH FAITH

Hebrews 11:1-6
1 Corinthians 13:13 “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.”

I. WE THINK OF FAITH IN DIFFERENT WAYS

  • The Christian Faith
  • Our Faith
  • Active Faith
  • Tough Faith (Faith Regardless)
    • Hebrews 11:13 (print NIV)
    • Hebrews 11:39-40 (print NIV)

II. WE ALL HAVE DOUBTS AND QUESTIONS

III. PEOPLE OF GREAT FAITH HAVE ENTERTAINED SUCH DOUBTS

IV. FAITH IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF DOUBT BUT ACTING IN OBEDIENCE TO GOD

V. IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A PROPER VIEW OF GOD

VI. WE MUST TRUST GOD AND NOT JUST OUR IDEAS ABOUT GOD

VII. QUOTE:

“I have to be on speaking terms with God as a living personality. He often calms my

doubts with A TOUCH OF THE SPIRIT rather than an answer to my questions.” (Unknown)
